Electric Daisy Carnival swelled its billing with last week’s announcement that more than 30 of the biggest names in house, trance, dance and drum ‘n’ bass will be joining the party at The National Bowl on July 9.

Among those adding their style alongside the previously announced Acicci and Axwell ^ Ingrosso will be Eric Prydz, who will perform on the kineticFIELD stage, showcasing his highly anticipated debut album Opus.

Robin Schulz and Oliver Heldens, the pop-house player behind the chart topper Gecko (Overdrive) are also signed up, and Martin Solveig - the man responsible for Madonna’s MDNA release, is on board too.

Others making the grade include Paul Van Dyk, Pendulum, making their return to the green space, and Markus Schultz who did a swell job at the Bowl last summer.

That event attracted a whopping 40,000 fans who made the most of the sounds, and the events extras: art installations, exhilarating carnival rides and stunningly costumed performers.

When it comes to dance music festivals in 2016, EDC is up there with the biggest of the big guns.

The line-up so far reads like this:

And as spectacular as that little line-up may be, it’s not the full roar, and more artists will be announced in the coming months.
